Cindy Stevens Cindy Stevens is a member of the Clinton Art society and the Madison Art society. Cindy comes from a family of artists. Her mom, Shirley Price, was a pen and ink artist, and her brother and sister both paint professionally. Cindy has owned and operated Snow’s Block Frame Gallery in her home for 24 years. Cindy’s had an affinity for art and creative projects through the years and she studied watercolor painting with Lou Bonamarte for a number of years. She discovered her love of oil painting a little later in life, after trying a plein aire workshop in Maine with her sister. She’s been doing Stan Moeller’s painting workshops on Monhegan Island in Maine for a quite few years. She seems to be drawn to Monhegan every fall, and loves the Monhegan energy, and the focus that a week on the island provides.Cindy has an impressionistic style. She enjoys playing with color and light, and expresses her own interpretation of the subject. She generally paints landscapes, especially involving water and rocks, flowers, and local scenes, and loves to paint plein aire. Painting on location allows her to capture light effects and represent intensity of color in a fresh way. She can lose herself in the painting process and focus without distractions from real life. Cindy can be reached at 860-669-1109
